In a three-bet pot preflop, three players saw a flop of 8c6h4h. The small blind checked and the Matthew Lombardi checked from the hijack.

Aleksandr Shevelev bet 3,700 from the cutoff and the small blind folded. Lombardi check-raised all in and Shevelev immediately asked for a count. The dealer verified that Lombardi was all in for 37,500 and Shevelev went into the tank for a couple minutes before calling.

Shevelev showed Ac8d, good for top pair, top kicker and was drawing to runners against Lombardi’s 4c4s.

The turn was the As and Shevelev improved to top two pair.

“Don’t do it to me,” said Lombardi after the turn gave Shevelev immediate outs.

The river was the 3c and Lombardi’s set held up to double up. He drags the pot and shoots up the chip counts.

Matthew Lombardi – 84,000
Aleksandr Shevelev – 28,000
